Stealing Your Heart

Qin Ya still wanted to refuse, but Lin Xinyan held her hand tightly.

Su Zhan didn’t show up throughout the whole ceremony, likely due to the injuries he sustained on his face. He probably wanted to avoid Qin Ya as well. But surely he wouldn’t hide during the banquet too?

A meal would still be waiting for him.

Lin Xinyan effectively wanted Qin Ya to know how Su Zhan felt about her.

She could tell that Su Zhan was sad.

Qin Ya pursed her lips and said nothing. She noticed that given the nature of the relationship between Su Zhan and Zong Jinghao, there was no way he’d miss the wedding. The fact that he was missing in action at all was strange.

I wonder why Lin Xinyan wants me to come with her. Does it have to do with Su Zhan? wondered Qin Ya.

Since there was no mention of this person, Qin Ya decided not to ask.

Lin Xinyan patted her hand. “You’re coming with me then.”

Qin Ya lowered her head and agreed.

Another knock was heard at the door. This time, it was a staff member who had come over to inform Lin Xinyan to get ready. The banquet had already begun.

Qin Ya confirmed that she was aware of this and shut the door.

The wedding banquet was well underway when suddenly the lounge door was pushed open. Zong Jinghao strolled in.

Lin Xinyan asked, “Why are you here?”

Zong Jinghao mentioned that he wanted to introduce Lin Xinyan to some of the foreign branch operatives from earlier on.

He wrapped an arm around her waist and carefully helped her up from the sofa, asking, “Are you tired?”

Lin Xinyan nodded.
